The main differences between the scopes:
Mk1 has range increments of 50 yds & deflection increments of 2 moa.
Mk2 has both range & deflection increments of 1 moa. Earlier scopes have the same individual, mounted directly into the scope tube, ocular lenses; later Mk2's have the self contained eye lens assembly as per the Mk3 scope.
Mk3 scope has both range & deflection increments of 1 moa, the ocular lens cell, & totally redesigned drums to make them easier to adjust for zero.
Concerning backlash, the amount that occurs will depend on how worn the scope is, & whether it has any anti-backlash springs fitted. Mk1 scopes can be a right mish-mash in this respect; earlier unmodified scopes will have no anti-backlash spring at all. Later, a single spring under the grat block eased the situation in range only mode, & later still twin springs were fitted to the cursor that holds the grat block so as to eliminate the problem in both range & deflection.
Hope this helps a bit.

Doesn’t necessarily mean anything... I frequent a AK forum and didn’t post for about two years. Still went on the sight every once in a while, just didn’t post...

OK then, you can hold your breath and let me know when he returns... There's a difference between frequenting and not posting, he hasn't even been here.

Anyone interested in knowing more about the rifle / scope combination as mentioned in the original post should check out the Thames Valley Guns (TVG) website (sorry not sure how to post a link). There is plenty of info there amongst the "Armourers notes" about how the rifle was converted and the scope obtained. As regards anything else I visit often but only post when I have something to say (and I don't say much).

Nice little article, done slightly differently to the way that I would do it but same meat, different gravy as they say. As for lock-tite. I'm of the old school here and I would tin the threaded holes and the threads of the screws and play the flame on them as the screw is being tightened. As the screws and pad sets, the soft solder sets the screws contract and thereafter the screws remain as tight as a............, There is a phrase relating to radial and tensile tightness that I was going to use but I'll save that for another day
